anyways, this topic has come up many times in office meetings ( aka our office manager made me post this :)  We figured that this had to be a common bump in the road for many buying or selling a turnkey product. 

And keep a log of what you use on each property, it will come in handy down the road..

Even when you (or your heirs) take it out a long way down the road, Uncle Sam (currently) can't touch it, and there is no requirement to start withdrawing.

Hi Chris,I'm not too far down the road from you. 

If you do a seller finance home is it possible to then refinance the home with a bank 3+ years down the road?

We video market across 20 sites to attract the best renters and offer most free credit repair if they pay on time..which allows us to turn them into buyers of our flips down the road.  

When you buy back in down the road will interest rates be the same?

My ultimate push for keeping the property is keeping the eye on the prize of being able to utilize the sale of this property down the road into a 1031 exchange for a property that has more units and cash flows significantly better.

If you do end up replacing the carpet down the road, I would recommend to replace it with laminate flooring.
